Some are happy, some are sad.
While the Sun family was facing constant turmoil, the Chi family was overjoyed.
Because Chi Sihai has invented the hand-cranked fan!
There are mainly two types: kinetic energy and hydrodynamic energy.
One type is similar to a pile driver, using the power generated by driving piles to make the fan swing.
Hydrodynamics, on the other hand, utilizes water.
The former has less wind power than the latter, but it takes up less space, so every household can place it there.
Hydrodynamic systems take up more space and require water. However, they produce strong winds, and with the presence of water, the resulting breeze carries moisture and is even cooler!
There's also the most basic model, the hand-cranked fan! As the name suggests, it's cranked by the person!
However, after Chi Sihai combined the blueprints with some of his own ingenuity, although it still required manual shaking, it was much easier.
Even a child could do this job!
"Wow, it feels so cool."
Several toddlers sat on a straw mat, enjoying the breeze from the fan, and laughed heartily.
Sister-in-law Chi was also extremely comfortable.
I'm already sensitive to heat in the later stages of pregnancy, and this year it's been exceptionally hot.
Chi Dashan shook the rocker even harder.
"Fourth brother is amazing!"
Chi Tang gave a thumbs-up in praise.
She felt that all she needed to do was raise her older brother and nephews well, and she could win without lifting a finger.
Eating and drinking every day.
The examiners for the reading were the second elder brother and Xiao Suotou An'an Wulang.
There are three older brothers, four older brothers, and four sons who are in business.
Soldiers have wives and stars.
My parents and my elder brother and sister-in-law are the ones who help me farm.
Hmm, no, that's not right. With your cooking skills, you could open a restaurant!
She needs to come up with more business ideas so that everyone in the family has something to do and can earn money!
hey-hey.
Then she can eat and drink all day long.
"It's all thanks to the young master's excellent teaching!"
Chi Sihai picked up Chi Tang and bounced her around a couple of times: "Has Tangtang lost weight?"
Chi Tang touched her chubby cheeks, her eyes welling up with tears.
Brother.
Your sister filter is too strong!
She's really not thin at all.
"Yes, I've noticed that my sister has been eating less lately. Tomorrow, when I feel better, I'll cook two nice dishes for Tangtang myself."
Sister-in-law Chi also felt that her younger sister had lost weight.
Aunt Chi said, "Tangtang loves sweets, so you can make two sweet dishes. What are you planning to make? I'll have Madam Tian buy them in advance tomorrow."
"Auntie, you're not fat, you don't need to eat less."
The little lock comforted her aunt.
Mr. Chi said, "I'll go to the pastry shop now and buy some osmanthus cake. Tangtang loves to eat this."
Tangtang, who was about to refuse, was already drooling when she thought of the sweet and soft osmanthus cake.
Waaah, honey, I want to get thinner and prettier, but circumstances don't allow it!
My parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews are all so mean.
"Fourth Brother, how much do you plan to sell these fans for?"
Little Wu touched this place curiously, looking around to see where it was.
The little boy was always curious about these things. If his family hadn't been using the fan, he probably would have taken An-an and Goro apart to see what it was all about.
"Well, first give two to the county government, then give two to your second brother and two to your private school." Chi Sihai had already planned it out.
For gifts, the most basic hand-cranked fans and motorized fans are naturally the best options.
A fan powered by water is inconvenient to give away.
We're not short of money right now, so let's give them out first. Once people have experienced the coolness of the fan, business will naturally come to us.
"Fourth brother, remember to prevent others from learning it by mistake!" Chi Tang reminded him in her childish voice.
There's no such thing as trademarks or intellectual property rights these days.
So you should think about this when you're doing it.
To everyone's surprise, Chi Sihai wasn't surprised at all: "Don't worry, I've put anti-tampering devices on the core parts. If it's forcibly disassembled, it will automatically damage the internal components. No one else will know how the key parts are made."
He had already witnessed this when he was an apprentice in the city, so when he first started making the fan-shaped vehicle, Chi Sihai had already applied this technique.
"That's amazing!"
——
As expected, the hand-cranked fan received numerous orders as soon as it was launched.
Especially for wealthy families, they would definitely order dozens of units.
They have no shortage of servants to shake it, and they also have ice. When they add ice and shake it, it will be quite something!
Many kinetic fans have been ordered, but the most popular are still basic hand-cranked fans.
The basic hand-cranked fan was priced at five taels of silver, while the kinetic energy fan was priced at ten taels of silver.
They paid three taels and six taels of silver upfront, respectively, and wrote a contract. The remaining amount was paid upon delivery.
If the fan breaks down due to a quality issue within one month, it can be replaced.
Free repairs are available within three months.
Chi Sihai received more than three hundred taels of silver just from the deposit.
This leads to a problem – a shortage of manpower!
It's already the height of summer. If we have to wait another month or two to get it, will we even need it?
Fortunately, after Chi Sihai finished making them, he took advantage of the three days when business came to him and made ten units with Tian Laibao in one go.
However, hiring seems to be an urgent matter.
Chi Sihai refused to hire anyone because he was worried about technology leaks and someone causing trouble.
Finding a reliable apprentice is not easy.
Later, it was Old Man Chi who took Chi Dashan and Chi Sanhe to help, while the work in the fields was done by hired people.
